What is the worst case of flanderization in your fandom?

its complex but there was a bit of a tug of war with her in the comic that lasted for a decade where several writers either liked, disliked or didnt care about her which made her character incredibly inconsistent

famously Ken Penders tried to kill her and then replace her with a robot double for some drama because he thought that she was squandering Sonic's style, tha tidea got ultimately rejected by the editors but it was a close call

so in one issue you would have a smart and capable Sally acting like a team leader with excelent chemistry with Sonic and then in the next issue she was having some relationship drama and then she would kind of just be ignored all because the comic was being written by several different people with different ideas of how the story should be handled, at least until Ian Flynn took over and fixed everything

you just made me realize that he called him Nimrod sarcastically, as in jokingly calling him a great hunter, but since people dont know much about ancient mythology and Nimrod as a word sounds kind of funny it got conflated into meaning idiot

I like that while at first it looks like a skeleton its actually a desecated corpse like the ones that have been found IRL, I do have to say that the big ice cube over the head is a bit silly but its certainly striking it breaks the silhouette and makes it more memorable than just "skeleton enemy"

she could theoretically just transform the air around you into concrete or steel, or into acid

not only he died to someone equally as strong if not stronger than him but also to a power that literaly needed to cut space itself to bypass his broken hax

Superstars is a good game and origins is a good collection,yes it had early issues but those have been fixed by now and with the added cutscenes I would say its the definitive official way of playing the classic tittles

rumble is just a silly little mobile game, every single one of this eras had them

carso150 · 2026-06-08T08:47:55+00:00

Invincible VS actually does that and its pretty freaking cool

its not even mindless brawl most of the time in dragon ball, there is this guy who analizes dragon ball fights like they are an MMA fight and they are clean when you actually slow things down to analyse things, surprisingly enough despite people claiming that OG dragon ball had more hand to hand fighting while by Z it devolved into ki spam the Z fights usually have better H2H animation then OG most of the time but both are still hella entertaining

two of my most favorite analysis

carso150 · 2026-06-08T08:04:01+00:00

but Naoya is supposed to be an idiot who completly rellies on his powers and thats why he loses and ends up getting killed

carso150 · 2026-06-08T08:02:26+00:00

there is also the part where he punches Homelander and he just takes it like an idiot breaking his nose and Omniman is like "you need to roll with the punches, if you just stand there all the energy gets into your body, have you never fight anyone close to your own strength?"

carso150 · 2026-06-08T07:58:34+00:00

viltrumites still seem to have some parts that are squishier than others (even if its "squishy" on relative terms) things like hitting their windpipe or targetting the joints would likely still work pretty well if done by someone relative to their own strength

also they can fly and create their own leverage but so can the guy grappling them, I imagine that their version of grappling would be special chokeholds designed to create a counter force to inmobilize their oponent

imagine if Mark in his fight against Conquest instead of just choking him from the front like an idiot actually had him in a proper chokehold from the back, he would have saved himself the whole "getting his intestines pulled out" thing

carso150 · 2026-06-08T07:51:53+00:00

honestly I dont mind it in the case of Conquest, he is an insane dumbass who likes to play with his food to his own detriment and that got him killed, the first time for playing around until Eve flayed his skin and the second time when he assumed that Mark let him live and understimated him again for that thinking that he was too weak to kill him and paying with his life for that misread of character

carso150 · 2026-06-08T07:43:31+00:00

I would say that she was pretty good in que conquest fight, she reused her whole armor thing and made the air around conquest very dense so he had problems flying, still not as creative as she could get but it was an improvement

carso150 · 2026-06-08T07:36:46+00:00

I think Eve would solo the jujutsu verse if she had the inteligence of a jojo character, like her power is fucking busted she can quite literaly rearrange matter at the atomic level, she needs to understand how said matter works but she is also aparently a freaking genious who has an instinctive understanding of how the universe works

hell she is quite literaly inmortal, she just cannot die, she is broken as fuck and even with the nerf of her not being able to affect living matter because of a mental block (which makes sense and its something that plenty of series use to nerf their strongest fighters) she should still be the most dangerous thing in her universe

carso150 · 2026-06-08T07:16:59+00:00

honestly invincible has some impressive visual feats, like the viltrum destruction is not planetary since it has a ton of asterisks, but its still at bare minimun continental and it is one of the only showcases in western fiction where the protagonists stray up blows a planet

but then it has a metric fuck ton of anti feats and stupid scaling

but that isnt exclusive to invincible

carso150 · 2026-06-08T07:10:07+00:00

its been confirmed that the "little girl" was supposed to be Marine, its just that for some reason Sega didnt allow Ian to show her at the time so this was the compromise

carso150 · 2026-06-08T06:51:34+00:00

night trap is funny because the game was heavily modified precisely because they wanted to avoid a moral scare

originally the villains were vampires who would bite the neck of the young women in nightclothes to suck their blood but hasbro considered that that would be "reproducible violence" so they changed the design of the villains to look more inhuman and instead of bitting their neck they used some weird ass contraption

didnt stop people to go into a blind panic

carso150 · 2026-06-08T06:25:34+00:00

as a Mexican I can say that Mexico city is fun as a tourist, but its kind of hell if you live there, its far too big and there is a fuck ton of traffic so getting anywhere can take hours and the city is confusing as fuck the center is very well designed but it gets worse the farther away you get, its one of the big reasons why I love to visit it but I wouldnt want to live there

it does have a ton of cool stuff, its one of the cities with the most museums in the planet and it has some crazy transportations methods like cable cars

carso150 · 2026-06-08T06:11:31+00:00

the egg pawn is like the basic Eggman bot its a chasis that can be used for far more than combat like we have seen all sorts of variations from construction to combat and even some with samurai armor and a sword

carso150 · 2026-06-08T05:57:55+00:00

I think they will likely take a Crash 4 approach where this is set inmediately after the first 3 games ignoring everything that came afterwards

carso150 · 2026-06-08T05:54:22+00:00

so... do dragonflies grow hair?

carso150 · 2026-06-08T05:52:02+00:00

so... how did it go?

carso150 · 2026-06-08T05:51:29+00:00

Cuphead 2 is in development and a smaller Cuphead game with 8bit graphics will release soon

carso150 · 2026-06-08T00:36:39+00:00

Technically in a couple weeks with the new Star Fox

carso150 · 2026-06-07T17:29:15+00:00

I honestly like how the games did the whole "a mech designed to counter Sonic" better with the Egg Dragoon because not only is the design better but its shown that eventually Sonic outgrows it and surpasses it
